sorry, but how is this news? I mean really the story is old, and anyone that has anything to do with building a computer (i.e. the only people that care about this story) already know about this.
slow news day?
when are we going to get solid state hard drives to keep up with the rest of the computer crap these days? I wish someone would quite lolly gagging and just produce them for christ sake. they have them.. now sell them. stop playing with ram and start playing with harddrives!
agreed proprietary stuff sucks!. all it means for us is more soldering and wires to deal with since we're too lazy to go buy new batteries:P
i've got a new flashlight that used A123 li-ion batteries... thier odd
I too have invented a wireless power source, it's very convenient, and I comes in multiple form factors to work with already existing devices. it's relatively cheap, very safe, and once again requires no wires at all. I call them batteries!
Personally, I feel that javascript is a wonderful well thought out language. It's easy for starters, yet it has the power that professionals want and need. Alot of people talk down about javascript because browsers don't all integrate it the same, or correctly. but javascript give you to tools to get around the short comings of the browsers.
it's a bit off topic..
it could possibly be because there was almost no never version of the most common pirated versions of software in 2005? Maybe if larger money hungry software companies make a free version of their software (just watered down of course) people wouldn't need to pirate as much.. I mean look at photoshop. some 14 year old want's to make a website, but that kid can't afford photoshop, but he really can't make graphic in mspaint! so they download a pirated copy of photoshop. And while their in the process of getting it they decide "well, hell i can code html and stuff in notepad, but i think i'll download dreamweaver" it's a downward spiral!
if there were watered down free versions of software more available i believe that pirating would show a loss (in software that is).
as for music, i think if the DRM crap went away you'd see more people buying music personally i don't want to go pay $10 for a cd that i can only listen too on my home computer, maybe i want to rip it to mp3 and take it to work and listen to it there, or maybe i want to burn a disk of mp3's to listen to in my car's mp3 player. one thing i do know is that mp3s that i download have no problem playing where ever and whenever i want
all said and done, the locks only keep the honest people out, because as long as there's a new lock there's someone that can pick it...
really... who cares! I mean is it that much of a suprize that china is still governing their series of tubes with an iron fist? everytime you hear something about china + internet it's all just one more thing about how china isn't down with the free trade of information.
